General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Following on from my previous post regarding the registration email received by 'your Party' subscribed emails, it seems as though the membership sign up site was created by Zarah Sultana independently of the rest of the party. This has been corroborated by a statement released by Zarah on both the YourParty-membership site and X. Stating that the reason for doing so was being pushed out of decision making and an apparent "boys club" methodology to the current decision making.

All of this controversy is very fresh, so it's difficult to get a clear picture, but it seems like today's membership portal was setup as a means to wrestle leverage in ongoing debates between supposed custodians of the founding process. I'm retaining my membership there out of morbid curiosity on what happens to the money etc, but I can't advise others to do the same in good conscience. All in all a dark day for a party that's yet to lay down its founding documents let alone name. Apologies to any who have been misled by my previous post.

It was nice to briefly have some hope but this whole thing just seems to be lurching towards disaster. I'll stick with the Greens

Agreed. A very bleak situation that was completely avoidable.
